That's pretty much it. There's a much more complicated chord run down around the second progression in the verse (Am - D - G) on the lyrics sheet I've got, (written on by Chris for my dad at Hull college in the early 70s), but I could never get my head round them, the above works fine for me, and that manuscript is in Hull; I'm in Hanoi so I can't find out right now.
